From Dreams to Reality: Sarah's Internship Journey in Singapore

Sarah Meuthya Zahwa—one of IELS's active community members—turned her long-time dream into reality by securing an internship at Innovate Marketing Studio, a digital marketing agency based in Singapore. Earlier this year, she discovered IELS's Step Up! program and joined, hoping to gain mentorship on international internships and career preparation.

Through Step Up!, Sarah learned that being skilled isn't enough—she also needed to communicate her value effectively. The mentorship provided practical insight on personal branding and international communication, laying the foundation for her career breakthrough.

Now interning abroad, Sarah is thriving in a fast-paced global environment. She's still using the communication tips she learned—from writing professional emails to maintaining active communication at work.
